1. An electronic device comprising:
a memory;
an image sensor;
an image control circuit operatively connected to the image sensor; and
an image signal processor operatively connected to the image control circuit,
wherein the image control circuit is configured to:
store a plurality of frames received via the image sensor in the memory;
transmit at least one of the plurality of frames stored in the memory to the image signal processor; and
identify a difference value between an index of a frame received from the image sensor and an index of the at least one frame transmitted to the image signal processor; and
remove a frame that is not transmitted to the image signal processor among the plurality of frames stored in the memory based on a determination that the identified difference value between the index of the frame received from the image sensor and the index of the at least one frame transmitted to the image signal processor exceeds a designated number.
